Good Green Vitality

Good Green Vitality contains Folate (methyltetrahydrofolate), the natural form of Folic Acid.Many people lack the ability to completely convert synthetic Folic Acid into Folate. This is problematic not only because the body isn’t getting the nutritional and protective benefits, but also because un-metabolised Folic Acid has been shown to increase cancer tumour growth.

The best research we have to date shows that the viability of probiotic compounds is good for many months so long as the product is kept relatively cool. Be sure to keep the product in the refrigerator of at the bottom of the pantry to preserve viability.

Good Green Vitality contains Folate (methyltetrahydrofolate), the natural form of Folic Acid. Having enough L5MTHF (Folate) is imperative during pregnancy to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the baby. The amount of added Folate in our formula, combined with that naturally sourced thought diet, should be adequate for a healthy pregnancy however you should always consult with your health care practitioner.

The amount of kelp contained within Good Green Vitality is approximately 60mg, and the total iodine content of Good Green Vitality from kelp and marine algae is around 154mcg – equivalent to the daily dietary recommended intake for adults, but less than the recommended intake for pregnancy and breast-feeding. Iodine in adequate amounts is essential for creation of thyroid hormones. The amount in Good Green Vitality is supportive and should not cause adverse effects.

According to our health advisors, Good Green Vitality is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding and may help provide some of the additional nutritional requirements during this time. However, every individual is different and may have specific requirements or a need for special for caution. We always advise women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to seek independent advice from their health practitioner first.

There is nothing in Good Green Vitality that is contraindicated during pregnancy. We have designed Good Green Vitality to be a safe, every day formula for all adult populations. Note: Rosemary is contraindicated for pregnancy in high (therapeutic/herbal medical) doses but the miniscule amount in Good Green Vitality is completely safe. However, we always advise women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to seek independent advice from their health practitioner first.

Mix two teaspoons (one scoop) of Good Green Vitality into a glass of water, non-acidic juice (eg. apple juice) or coconut milk. You can also use Good Green Vitality in smoothies, or with a serve of Clean Lean Protein. Check out our recipe section for more ideas.

Good Green Vitality is refined only enough to make it mixable, whilst also preserving some of the more fragile nutritional compounds. Simply make sure that you mix well and drink immediately (some of the heavier particles will naturally settle if you allow it to sit for a while before consumption).

Good Green Vitality contains a blend of over 75 ingredients designed to address and aid all your metabolic pathways. Powdered greens, fruits, vegetables and berries for their phytonutrients; a full range of added vitamins and minerals to help make up for anything missing in the diet; prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes and herbs to aid digestion and liver function; adaptogenic herbs to help with stress; and ingredients to help with cognition, energy, immunity, bone and tissue health, and much more. It’s comprehensive nutritional support in one daily serve.

Firstly it’s not just a ‘greens’ product. Many ‘greens’ products are simply powdered foods without any fortification of essential vitamins and minerals, or probiotics, bioflavonoids etc. Powdered food blends are OK for a little ‘boost’ in your smoothie but without taking significantly more than the recommended teaspoon or two, they really do not offer significant supplementation.
Of those ‘greens’ products that do strengthen their powdered foods with added vitamins, minerals, probiotics etc., you will find that Good Green Vitality has significantly higher levels of nutrients than most, if not all, products available in this category. Most importantly however are the forms of those ingredients. Good Green Vitality uses the most bioavailable, ‘body-friendly’, and effective forms available; many of which are not used by ANY of our competitors. It makes for a more effective, more efficient, and in some areas safer, formula to your health and wellbeing.

There are several reasons why we decided to stick with powder as compared to pill or capsule form for Good Green Vitality.

1. Quantity – It is simply easier for us to get a viable dose in a spoonful of Good Green Vitality than taking the equivalent amount of capsules, which many people would find hard to swallow!
2. Destruction of nutrients in processing – The encapsulation and tableting processes introduce an extra level of processing that could potentially damage some of the nutrients and compounds in Good Green Vitality.
3. Ease of digestion – Powders products generally digest more efficiently and effectively as there is no capsule to first break down, plus we can avoid using artificial binders and fillers that would be needed to put the product into tablet form.

For nutritional insurance – to help plug the gaps in your diet due to poor food quality, soil depletion and imperfect dietary choices; and because of the demands our bodies make for extra nutrients due to environmental toxins and our high-stress modern lifestyles. Nothing should replace a balanced diet of real food – supplements simply help fill the gaps.

Good Green Vitality is a full spectrum multi-nutrient formula that provides your nutritional ‘base’. It effectively replaces a multivitamin, but with many additional benefits. You shouldn’t need to take both.

You should only need one server per day for complete nutritional support, however those with additional nutrient requirements due to activity or illness may benefit from taking two.

We recommend taking Good Green Vitality in the morning on an empty stomach. This allows the maximum absorption of vitamins such as folate and also ensures that you remember to take it! Some people have also noted that it has a gentle ‘awakening’ effect that can be of benefit on those mornings when it’s hard to get moving.

Our commitment is to use the best form of every ingredient, from the best available source. While some of our ingredients are organic (such as spirulina, barley leaf and wheatgrass), we can’t always find high quality organic sources for all of the 75+ ingredients in Good Green Vitality. Our decisions are based on selecting the ingredient that provides the best health effect – not just the one that looks best on the label or that delivers the largest profit margin.

While we don’t recommend heating the product as it can change the chemical structure of some of the delicate ingredients, there are many ways to incorporate Good Green Vitality in a meal. See our recipes section for ideas.

Good Green Vitality is a multivitamin plus much more! As well as high levels of real foods, it also contains ingredients which address all our metabolic pathways; energy, digestion, immunity, stress and cognitive. It includes probiotics, digestive enzymes, additional antioxidants, adaptogenic herbs, CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and much more – none of which are found in a standard multi-vitamin.
To take all of these ingredients individually would cost many times more than our all-in-one solution. The cost of Good Green Vitality is less than that of a cup of coffee. Try swapping out one cup of coffee per day for one serve of Good Green Vitality and feel the difference!

Apart from the stylish new name and new look, Good Green Vitality has been refreshed and reformulated to bring you more of what your body needs to keep up with the demands of modern-day life.
